I was going to point that out, but as this seems to be a temp file I
figured why not - it would lilkely be created anew next time.

It depends on the software but it ususlly envloves placing the suspect file in an
encrypted "container" such that it is not accessible by any other software or process
other than the anti virus application iself.

It is akin to locking a patient with Bubanic Plague in a hospital isolation room/ward.
